I think Deluxe Ironhide looks a bit more movie accurate than the voyager version. Voyager Ironhide was little to lean and agile compared to the movie decpiction. The Deluxe version appears more stockier and would be a nice scale with Voyager Optimus Prime.

There were so many times I stopped myself from buying Henkei Thrust and Dirge and now this makes me happy.

I think if they come out with Thundercracker (which is pretty obvious if they say more seeekers to come) I'll buy him and sell my Henkei one so I dont have one seeker with chrome blasters (cant make him feel like the red-headed child).

what does that phrase mean?! My boss at work tells me he "Loves
me like a red headed stepchild"

I want all transformers

Funny thing is I was gonna call him FedEx (refering to the nickname they gave the red headed kid in the Steve Martin movie Cheaper by the Dozen) but I wasnt sure how many people would have gotten that one.

On the topic of Darkmounts ankles again, I was looking at the picture and if look at the top of that weak looking ankle joint it looks like there is a slot there where that piece should side up making that fit tight with the foot - my theory is its mis-transformed

The one seeker they won't do in the Classics Seeker mold would be Thundercracker. He was a Botcon Exclusive. He may be done in the ROTF Dirge mold, or the ROTF Thrust mold but not the Classics mold. That topic has been beaten to death.

This Thrust is different because it is not sharing the Botcon mold. Hope that helps clear things up for some folks.

That's true Down_Shift, but as far as I'm aware Hasbro didn't specifically state that all seekers in this line would be based on old molds. Maybe if we're lucky (God willing.) We'll actually get a new mold based on Thundercracker's IDW appearance.

As for they toys I'm definitely getting Drift and Thrust, Darkmount is a maybe at this point but I'll have to see how it develops.

Bumblebee- cool axe BUT WHERE IS HIS CANNON?!?!?!
there are more transformer Bumblebees than real bees


Jetblade -he was so accurate to the real Harrier jet UNTIL that line of blue killed it

Ironhide- AT LEAST HIS HEAD IS ACCURATE
lots of kibble covering up his right arm and
he doesnt even have a left cannon
WHAT'S WITH THE LITTLE DRONE?!?!?!?!

THRUST- IS AN ABSOLUTE GET WITHOUT A DOUBT
HE'll look pretty awesome next to Dirge
(NOW IF I ONLY HAD GOT RAMJET... )

DRIFT- cool sports car...BLUDGEON MUCH?

Umm, yes he does. It's on the underside of the left arm, look again.

Thrust is great, but his presence undermines both the gentei and botcon exclusives, not to mention the fans who put out a lot of money to get those figures. It just seems unfair that an equivalent figure (with better paint apps) would be available for retail.

And also, I am upset that they still did not change the way the head transforms. It would be better if they made a retool that would hide the face in jet mode (like a detachable cone helmet that hides the face when put on backwards).

Ironhide looks great. Let's hope Hasbro does not decide on shortening his stacks like they did on the voyager versions.

If there is a Classics 3.0 line, I want to see toys of Jazz and Wheeljack.
